Burns doesn’t think he teams top priority. Also thinks he should be paid among top edge rushers

The one thing that was done right after the huge dropped ball of not trading this guy was not signing him to some huge contract. Earned it before the season? GTFOH. You had every opportunity to go get your fat paycheck and put up your worse season since being drafted.

I wouldn't bother trying to tag and trade him unless had already worked out a deal with another team and he was aware of what was going down . You may not find a buyer. If we don't want to pay him $30 mil per year, why would we expect someone else to after an 8 sack season? Then we could be stuck with him on a big 1 year deal and go an entire season with him "playing scared" again. Or, Burns could decide to hold out over the tag issue and create a messy preseason distraction.

Id be ok just let him walk. We might be able to get a 3rd round comp pick for him in 2025.

1) he should be the team's top priority...finding a trade partner that will give us at least one 1st rounder.

2) if it will help sell him, then yes...i'll call him a top edge rusher in the league and i'll keep a straight face doing it. i'm that good.

[Tr3ach]

He should feel that way.  I definitely hope hes not our #1 priority unless its finding a way to franchise him and trade him.  Luvu and DB are much higher priorities in my opinion.

Bingo. His deal was more on potential/youth than anything else. 

 

I went to FSU, so I'm a burns fan, but we need to just tag and trade him and be done with this. 

I love Brian Burns but he would be amazing if we have a Julius Peppers opposite him. 
He just isn’t the main event. 

[Manna]

Hope the new GM tags and trades that dude if he sticks to his unreasonable asking price

[KBRed]

Franchise and trade. Move on. 

[PantherFanInPhilly]

Nope.

[Hoenheim]

No way in hell is he worth overpaying 

[Zaximus]

You can see this guy getting manhandled by Tight Ends pretty often.  Not worth.

[CanadianCat]

Im ok slapping the tag on him and seeing what happens. If we can trade him great, if not Im ok with him playing under the tag this upcoming season. 

Would way rather pay for Josh Allen at that price tho. 

[hepcat]

Fitterer should have been fired the day he turned down that trade from the Rams. It was that day we knew he was brain dead 

[frankw]

I like Brian on a personal level I've defended him over the months here and Scott Fitterer was a bumbling buffoon. But it's best for him to move on. We need to pay our real leader on defense Derrick Brown whatever he wants and keep it pushing. Too many other needs.
